PARIS (AP) — It was Karl Lagerfeld's final curtain — even though he was missing. Celebrities, supermodels and the fashion industry gathered at Chanel's catwalk show Tuesday to bid adieu to the iconic couturier, who died last month and did not want a public funeral.

It\'s not the passage of time that makes it so hard to get older. It\'s ageism, a prejudice that pits us against our future selves -- and each other. Ashton Applewhite urges us to dismantle the dread and mobilize against the last socially acceptable prejudice. \"Aging is not a problem to be fixed or a disease to be cured,\" she says. \"It is a natural, powerful, lifelong process that unites us all.\"

This keynote talk was given at the 2018 National Bioneers Conference. Introduction by Nina Simon, Bioneers Co-Founder and Chief Relationship Strategist.
What\'s a surefire way to make activism more effective? Make it intergenerational. What\'s the biggest obstacle? An ageist culture that pits old against young and bombards us with messages that wrinkles are tragic and old people useless. Aging is not a problem to be \"fixed\" or a disease to be \"cured.” It\'s a natural lifelong process that unites us all, and a world that\'s better to grow old in is better for everyone.
Debunking myth after myth about late life, author and activist Ashton Applewhite passionately urges us to come together at all ages - and dismantle ageism in the process.

A World Without Ageism with author and activist Ashton Applewhite. What would age equality look like? We’re barraged by messages that encourage a fear of old age. Many of us assume that with older age comes poor health and failing capabilities, so much so that the increase in life expectancy is often viewed as a negative trend. Ageing, however, is a natural, lifelong, powerful process, and, in fact, the older people get, the less afraid they are of dying. So why all the negativity? Ashton Applewhite uncovers the roots of ageism and shows how ageist myths and stereotypes cripple the way our brains and bodies function.

Rose talks with pro-aging activist, Ashton Applewhite about rewiring the way we look at aging. They discuss how she started This Chair Rocks, finding that older people have better mental health than young and middle-aged people, and came to the conclusion that most of the effects of aging come from an inner-perception based on consumer attitudes about aging. She also breaks the myth of Alzheimer\'s, only 2% of Americans have the disease and most cases are actually misdiagnoses based on our own anxiety over memory loss.

Acclaimed author and speaker Ashton Applewhite, author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, discusses many of the misconceptions surrounding aging, such as Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and living in a nursing home as guarantees of aging. In her NIC Talk at the 2017 National Investment Center for Seniors Housing &Care 2017 Fall Conference, she addresses not just cultural ageism, but also the ageism you may direct at yourself as you grow older, such as leaving early accomplishments off your resume, dyeing gray hair, or lying about your age. On the flip side, people who are more positive and truthful about their aging, do better on memory tests, walk faster, heal quicker, and live longer and better. Her recommendation to embrace yourself as you age? Become an “old person in training.”
